hey pdaddy, by no means am i a huge buff professional bodybuilder...but i HAVE read about a few natural herbs that INCREASE metabolism...and black pepper was definitely on the list...these are many substances that can increase your metabolism: Bhibitak, Guggulu, Sage, Pippali, Elecampane, Uva Ursi, Gokshura, Alfalfa, Ajwan, Cinnamon, Damiana, Dandelion, Parsley, Nettle, Shilajit, Black Pepper, Ginger, Turmeric, Triphala, Clove, Cardamom

so according to what i know and some articles i've read black pepper helps your metabolism...but it works best when you combine it with some of the above herbs such as ginger (which is a fan favorite to combine with )

hope this helps

That's a great list, even though I don't know what half that stuff is. I know cayenne pepper is a great metab. booster as well. Thanks

Actually hot, spicy foods are good for your stomach.....they have been found to actually not cause ulcers and the capsacin in the peppers has been found to contribute to a healthy acidic level in the stomach.

Indeed, black pepper is known to be good for your digestion, at least, according to some old wives I listen to.

the opposite is true. Black pepper contains several constituents, including piperine which increase metabolism as well as uptake of nutrients.
